I think kemell may of had some stuff on the powerplay. Other then that this helped solidify my opinion that the others need some more seasoningOther than Sherwood-Novak-Tomasino I don't know if any of our guys up front were generating much of anything. Kemell, Afanaseyev, Svechkov, Schaefer... none of those guys were doing much of anything, let alone the more gindery types of guys.
It was a well-earned 5-0 loss that's for sure.
Kemell on a line with Svechkov and Afanasyev didn’t help him at all. Having 9 penalties was prohibitive for him to get a rhythm going too. Hopefully he’ll get to play with a better line in his next game.
Svechkov needs a year or two in the AHL to get used to our systems. Same thing with Schaefer. I want to see Afanaseyev and Kemell with one of the NHL centers and see how they hang before sending them down to the AHL.
Good start, but it's all evaporated now.
I don't think he has even had a chance... Brunette may be preaching high-flying-offence or whatever (which might look good in practice, but so far not in evidence today) but I'm getting a little scared about our D-zone coverage. Even when they aren't scoring, there are guys standing open for the Panthers all over the place, and we gift them the slot.
Maybe we can get a top 5 pick afterall. Though thatll mean saros has to be bad which tanks his value in a trade
I'm not in a panic or anything. I'm just saying we suck TODAY. And hey, we scored one!
Well, "freaking out" isn't a thing, but to me, even a decent AHL team should be able to keep a score from getting out of hand against a half-NHL team. It's more "the way things look" that is like a scooby-doo "ruh-roh" to me right now. They haven't had more practices than us, why are they just laughing at us in these games right now?
Sorry, I couldn’t stand it any longer and I shut it down for all of us. You’re welcome!
